“We could tell them [alien civilization] things that we have discovered in the realm of mathematical physics, but there is stuff that I would like to know. There are some famous problems like how to bring gravitation and quantum physics together, the long-sought-after theory of quantum gravity. But it may be hard to understand the answer that comes back.” KnowsMayLongHardProblemTogetherStuffAnswersTheoryCivilizationPhysicsAliensMathematicalRealmsGravityQuantumQuantum PhysicsGravitation Author:Paul Davies

“Scientific realism in classical (i.e. pre-quantum) physics has remained compatible with the naive realism of everyday thinking on the whole; whereas it has proven impossible to find any consistent way to visualize the world underlying quantum theory in terms of our pictures in the everyday world. The general conclusion is that in quantum theory naive realism, although necessary at the level of observations, fails at the microscopic level.” ThinkingWorldWayWholeTermLevelsImpossibleFailingTheoryEverydayPhysicsConclusionObservationConsistentQuantumRealismProvenNaiveQuantum PhysicsCompatibleQuantum Theory Author:Ravi Gomatam
“There was a time when the newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there ever was such a time ...

“I'm very moved by chaos theory, and that sense of energy. That quantum physics. We don't really, in Hindu tradition, have a father figure of a God. It's about cosmic energy, a little spark of which is inside every individual as the soul.” LittlesSoulFatherIndividualEnergyFiguresTheoryTraditionMovedChaosPhysicsSparksCosmicQuantumQuantum PhysicsFather FigureChaos TheoryCosmic Energy Author:Bharati Mukherjee
